HOW TO REMOVE
THE AUGER DRIVE BELT
The auger drive belt is made of special

If the auger drive belt is damaged, the
snowthrower will not discharge snow
and will not move forward. Replace the
damaged belt as follows:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the belt cover. See "How
To Remove The Belt Cover".
3. Note the path of the auger drive
belt. For assistance, a diagram de-
cal is provided.
4. Remove the belt guide screw and
the belt guide See Figure 18). To
remove the belt guide, rotate the
belt guide down.
5. Remove the idler screw and idler
pulley from the idler arm (See
Figure 19).
6. Remove the auger drive belt from
the engine pulley and pull through
side of motor box (See Figure 20).
7. To remove the auger drive belt
from the impeller pulley, move the
idler arm to the engaged position.

(See Figure 21).

verse the above steps.
